Best Vegan Lipsticks to Add Colour to Your August Look

August has arrived and we’re half-way into summer! The weather’s getting hotter, and that means that lighter and brighter lipstick colours have hit the shelves. Obviously you want to always look your best, and August is the perfect month for expressing your funky side with beautiful and radiant shades of lipstick.

Whether you want a bold colour or something that will make your lips pop, there is always a vegan alternative to your favourite lipstick colours.

While Urban Decay is not a vegan company, they offer many vegan makeup products, one of their most popular ones being their Vice Lipstick. With 100 shades, you can find any colour you’re looking for from dark shades to radiant colours. For the summer season, we would recommend Snitch, Big Bang and Menace.

Who needs lipstick when they can use liquid lipstick? The best place to go to is Kat Von D Beauty, as Kat has been reformulating her entire beauty brand to go vegan. They have tons of fun colours, but the best shades for summer are: Beloved – Soft Coral; Armageddon – Carnation Pink; A-Go-Go – Bright Orange-Red; and Dreamer – Neon Turquoise.

Kat Von D’s Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks are also life-proof, everlasting wear, making them ideal for everyone who lives a busy lifestyle and needs to go the entire day without redoing their lipstick.

Have a thing for lip tar? Vegan company Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics offers just about any glittery shade you desire. From neon colours to metallic ones, you wouldn’t want to miss out on what OCC has to offer.

You never have to worry about smudging your lipstick on cups anymore because Milani offers must-have vegan smudge-proof lipsticks. According to their website, the Milani Colour Statement Moisture Matte Lipstick is infused with grape seed extract from Italy, which “dresses up lips with rich, eye-catching color and a suede-like finish while offering the same comfort your favorite cream lipsticks provide.”

For pretty summer lips, we would recommend these vegan shades: Matte Orchid; Matte Glam; Matte Diva; and Matte Passion. They also have a page where you can browse through all of their vegan products.

Axiology is an all-vegan lipstick brand devoted to producing natural, organic and cruelty-free lipsticks that still offer that creamy feeling. They have many shades, but Intrinsic is our top summer recommendation. It is a subtle colour with a big impact.
